A Burden Of Fat Gone

Here is another case where the
trim, slim figure of youth has dis-
placed the coarse, fat outline of mid-

surprise on learning
that Camilla was the author and
artist who was so ably stimulating
business for his company.

Peter's exhibit was awarded the
Paris scholarship, and he prepares
for his journey to France. After the
ship's departure from New York, he
is on his wav to his enabin when he
meets Avis Werth. During the voy-
age Avis tells Peter that ‘Camilla

‘She says;—

*T cannot say what weight I was,
but I was very fat—a burden to
myself. I have taken three bottles of
Kruschen Salts, and now I am quite
‘slender. I am over 56, and people
fake me for 40. I am more than
‘proud of myse'f. You can take it
from me that every word of this is
‘true, I took a teaspoonful in hot
water every morning till I need three
bottles. Now I only take half a tea

recommend the Kruschen Salts
‘enough, for they are worth their
weight in gold.”—Mrs, A. H.

Kruschen Salts combat the cause of
fat by assisting the internal organs
to perform their functions properly—
to throw off each day those waste
products and poisons which, if allow-
ed to accumulate, will be converted
by the body's chemistry into fatty
tissue.

CHAPTER LIX

Camilla did not recognize her visi-
tor for a moment, so long had it
been ‘since their last mecting. But
after an instant, she recalled his
name. “Oh—Mr. Matson, good after-
noon.”
He extended his hand, even before
she offered hers in greeting, like
the clumsy make-believe gentleman
that he was. “The very same—
Camilla. Lord, but you look swell.”
His frank glance admired her from
head to heel. “And no wonder!
Didn't you just go up in a rocket to
success? What do you think, I listen
to every one of your broadcasts.”
She smiled reservedly. “It's nice
to know that someone listens in. But
why should you be interested in chij-
dren's stories?”

“Tm not. I listen just to hear your
voice.”

Her manner became more aloof.
“Is that what you came here to tell
me? If it is, I'm frightfully busy,
Mr. Matson.”

“Oh, see here, little fireworks, don’t
you get so peeved over a little thing
like that. No, I came here to tell
you something that I think you
might like to hear. How about it?”
“Well?” she waited.

“I just heard the other day that)
they accused you of destroying
Peter's exhibit piece.”

“Well—I didn’t. And Peter knows
that.”

“Wasn't it that clawish cat, Avis
Werth, who accused you of it?”
“What difference does it make if
she did?”

“I just thought she might be able
to convince him that you did.”
“That's a silly thing to bring up
now. Peter is on his way to Paris,
as you well know.”

“So is Avis —-and on the same
boat,” he watched her face closely
for the effect, and was gratified with
the result.

She grew alarmingly white, as if
she had been struck a terrific blow.
Her head reeled sickeningly. But
she rallied almost instantly and man-
aged to reply bravely, “That's a
strange coincidence, isn't it? At
least, Peter will have pleasant com-
pany on a slow voyage.”

“Lord, you're a brick, Camilla, 1
know how that gets you. You can't
fool me. That is why I came here
to help you, because I've always been
crazy about you and can’t bear to
see you get a raw deal. Want to
know who destroyed the statue?”

She hesitated for a moment. “It
would be rather a relief to have the
mystery solved.”

“Well—I did it.”

Her startled eyes met his with
amazement. “You? But why—and
why should you confess it to.me?”

“One at a time, if you're going to
give me the third degree,” he held
up his hand in mock protest. “First,
I've told you to give you a square
deal. Reason given above. Next, I
did it for two reasons: for revenge
on Peter for a former little incident
which you may recall, and to increase
the possibility of my own success.
There was no doubt that he was one
of my best rivals. That eliminated
his chances, I thought, and increased
mine by one. The results proved
that I was right there. I was the
Nels Nelson whose ‘Flight’ was sec-
ond and lost the scholarship. So
Peter was my best rival, even with a
substitute entry.” He laughed harsh-
ly. “I may even have bettered his
chances by what I did, and hurt my
own. Well, he won. Oh, yes—one
thing more. You will wonder how I
did it. I slipped upstairs and into his
studio that night of the party, and
was listening in the lower hall when
you were discovered there. I thought
it was a lucky break for me.” He
paused,

“But I still don’t understand why
you are telling me. No one ever sus-
pected you, Don't you know that I
could have you arrested?”

“You won't,” he said confidently.
“Neither would Peter. After all, I
have to admit that he's one swell
guy. Besides, he won, didn't he?
What's his kick? That group prob-
ably had more kick in it than a
dozen ‘Inspirations’, But there is
more to my story, girlle. Not only
did I put Peter where he wanted to
be by my rotten trick, but I landed
myself in a cloud with a silver lining.
Maybo I didn’t deserve it, but just

“Peter can have all the Paris

anyway. First crack after the ex-
hibit, one of the big money kings

entrance to the airport. Then I al-
most collapsed when fortune threw
her arms around me again, and a

novelty dealer bought the patents on
some little modernistic figures that
he will manufacture by thousands to
put in the five-and-dime stores. What
do you say, is that a break or isn't
it?”

Her face lighted with genuine ad-
miration. “Indeed it ts, and I'm
awfully glad for you, I hate to think
that you could do a thing like that
to Peter—but since it came out al|
right, there must haye been some)

will you?” Camilla him.

tion and ardor transferred them-
selves to Avis, and almost before he
was aware of what was happening,
he found himself caught up and
hurled along by the mighty force of
his desires. Her nearness tantalized
him, maddened him; until on that
last magic evening of moonlight and
sea breeze, when the emotions were
strangely alive and alert with the
anticipation of the morning's land-
ing, he found his lips pressed to hers,
himself holding her intoxicating fra-
grance in his arms, and all elso
oblivion.

“But—that man you
finally reminded her.

“That man—is you, Peter darling,”
she confessed.

He was dazed. “Oh—I begin to
see light.”
She laughed softly. ‘Dear Peter,

Now that you know—what arp you
going to do about it?”

“1 don't know,” he confesseil
jectedly.

Affer a little while, she consoled
him. “Oh, well, why think about that

We can see each other often, and

would be: waiting for, but it hung in
the air between them.

“Not on your life, I won't. Me for
the straight and narrow—and pros-
perity.”

“I hope it continues for you,” she
smiled. “You have some fine things
in you to develop, I'm sure.’

“Gee, but you're sweet. Tell you
what, I might even write you a
Statement of confession to show to
Peter sometime, if you will promise
me to burn it right away after he

reads it. I don’t care to have in-
criminating evidence like that
around.”

“You don’t need to do that. If you
wish me to tell Peter, I shall. He will
believe me, of course. And he will
be relieved to know how it happened.
I'm sure he never believed that I
did it, anyway.”

“Well, I'd advise you to keep your
eye on Avis Werth.”

Camilla laughed with a deprecating
gesture, “Avis doesn't worry me.”
But she did not believe what she
said, and when Gus Matson had gone,
she sat huddled over her drawing
board in abject misery and despair.
Her thoughts leaped the expanse of
land and ocean which divided them,
and she visioned Avis and Peter on
the boat together for hours and days.
Then Paris—Peter a stranger and a
novice; and Avis as familiar with the
city, the customs, the language, as
at home. Avis: seductive, amorous,
subtle, confident, with everything to
her advantage. Angry tears stung in
her eyes.

After a night of restless pacing
the decks and turning in his upper
berth, Peter emerged to a victory
over his emotions. With bitter re-
gret and angry resentment, he had
slain love; and now looked upon the
results dispassionately. Never again)
would he give rein to his emotions.
Never again could he or would he
permit himself to love anyone as he
had loved Camilla. Work and suc-
cess were all that made life worth
while, anyway.

He would devote every moment,
every effort, every emotion to those|
elements. He would be hard and cold,
and grasping like the rest of the|
world—take what he wanted when|

fancy, ignore all obligations to senti-|

Persia Cleared Of Beggars
Incurables Sent To Institutions And
Able-Bodied Must Work

By a ministerial edict all beggars
have been swept off the streets of
Persian towns and even from the
courtyards of mosques where for cen-
turies since Islam entered the coun-
try they have begged for alms,

The lame, the blind and the insane,
have been sent to institutions. The
able bodied have been put to work on
the new railroad with the option of
going to prison with hard labor for
three years. For the work they do
they are pald the minimum wage per-
mitted by the state schedule for
labor,

Only those who know the East can
appreciate the scope of this reform.
In Teheran, which has a population
of 300,000, there were 22,000 beggars
organized into fraternities, guilds
and corporations sometimes dating
back to the foundation of the city.

Islam forbade any interference
with beggars on the grounds that
alms are the surest road to paradise.
The shah had to tread warily for the
mosque courtyard was the beggars’
chosen pitch, and the precincts of the
mosque have always been sanctuary.

The Papal stables, which once had

have been finally closed down. Pius

The Dunedin National museum of

highest Moslem dignitary, to send a
chaplain to accompany him on an
incognito tour of beggardom.

The chaplain saw for himself the
enormity of the racket. In due
course the mujtahid issued his fiat.
“It is good to help the poor. It is
evil to rob the poor. The beggars
of this town are guilty of robbing
the poor and must therefore be
driven from the sacred precincts of
mosques,”

The mutjahid, a wise and learned
doctor of Islamic law, also ruled that
the Koran enjoined that the insane,
the blind, the lame, and the sick
should be treated with respect and
consideration as being “afflicted by
the most high God.” It was not pos-
sible to respect them in the public
places, and therefore they must be
put away and tended.
